Hi All
I am back again to help Kevin with the festival and the schedule. Arielle is now 9 months old and I believe I will be able to at least attend one day of the event this year. So I am excited to return to KC, play some music, and catch up again with all of you wonderful people.

Here is the current line-up for July 2013

If you do NOT think you will be attending , please drop a message in the thread here, or private message me. I am beginning to work on the schedule today, so if anyone has any preferences that may have come up since last posting, please let me know. Also, if I have your real name, stage name, or spelling incorrect or it is missing, please notify me.

The jam sessions/collaborations were a major part of the festival in 2012 and this year we've scheduled all of Sunday, and a few hours on Friday and Saturday for jam sessions.

The jam sessions are open to all participants -- you can participate in any or all of them. As we did last year, many of the sessions are "themed" and, based on suggestions from last year, we will do a couple of "unthemed" sessions (in other words, we just start to play and see where it takes us!).

Sunday will open with a seminar from Charles Shriner (not to be missed!) and then a number of jam sessions -- for a few minutes prior to each session, Charles will lead mini-seminars focused on the theme of each session.

I would suggest that if you plan to participate in jam sessions (and I hope that you do!), bring cables (balanced or unbalanced (XLR or TRS) that are long enough to reach the central mixing console. Also, be prepared to mix your feed in mono just in case we run out of stereo inputs. We want to be sure that we can get everyone in the mix! How long? 20-25 feet will likely be long enough.

The schedule is tentative and I "guessed" at some of the jam themes however please post ideas here for themes that I didn't think of. The themes help us, as an ensemble, to focus and can be helpful with a large group.

One change is that on Sunday one of the jams will be a "Space Music" jam session. We can always opt to do a clock sync jam if people are interested, however I feel that "Space Music" is a theme that may invite more participants.

Once again, Mike Metlay volunteered to set up the stream. Thus, all the seminars, jam sessions, and sets will be streamed in real time.

Thanks to the organizers and performers at KCEM 2013, including special thanks to Mike Metlay for streaming it to those of us listening at home. It is always a treat to hear live electro-music!!!

A huge "thank you" to Kevin Kissinger, Mike Metlay, Shane Morris, and everyone else who helped get this event set up and moving. I am absolutely thrilled to have an event like this so close to home; I learn and grow each time I attend and truly value the friendships made here.

Attached is the recording of my set (my very first live performance). Thanks to all who helped make that happen (you know who you are).
